Meeting with that gentleman here this morning, I reqnested a friend to wait upon him on my part, and to suggest, that n. lltc inquiry which you propiw was presented to nsjoiiit ly.it WM perhaps expected that our reply ehnulil nlso he joint-—to inquire ifhe wap ready to join in such reply, an.l to say at the same time, that I was w illing to sub mil my own views separately The answer of Col j Towns is in substance : “that his views had already ■ been put in writing and were in the hands of Charles J j Hooper, Esq , ofLafnyette, Walker rout ty.and would : be p'oeed before the public side by =,de with the views : of Gen. Clinch on the same subject. *’ I proceed, therefore, lo answer the inquiry which you have proposed, and to say that in my judgment the I est interests of the State require that the We gem and At- : lantir Railroad should he extended to the limit ori giually contemplated by the Legislature, but that in the prosecution of the wotk u ju t i. gard ought of j course to be hail to the financial etui hlion of the Pate— ! and that die finances of the State, it is believed, by pru dent management, may lie rendered amply sufficient for the accomplishment of the purpose, without hurtltening our citizens with extraordinary taxation.

In the event however of my being elected Gov j ernor of Georgia, believing it not to be the province of the Kxecutive to exert undue influence, either indirect i ing or rnihrirressing the legislation of the State, and having full oor.fidcnce in the wisdom of the Legislature, ns the fair nnd proper representtiv of the will of the people, 1 should cheerfully co-operate with that tody in nny action which it may take on this subject.

How it | marks the true pciiffcoi r.iunmnrrcr?’ Is it not proof positive of the coricctness of the ptateni■••nt which wc H,, nie tine since gave, in regard to the position of Col. . I owns ! It in :tu-> ii - ventures to give an expression ol ’ opinion; but us if nniticd at the shadow ©t'his own thoughts, Ii at one- commences to qualiiy, nnd modify, and dilute it. until it amounts to no opinion at all. He lis us plastic and “ tacile” as “ a nose of max”. He is fish ox flesh, according to the fancy ol the people H has said nothing to prevent his friends in Cherokee front pledging the full influence of Ii s administration against the extension of th road. The policy <4 the Leuisla-* ture will depend much upon the repo t of the Kiiiihicer. , and if, as has been intimated, Col. Towns should place in the office a man who is pledged to repoi t against the completion of thework.it follows, that his opinion will be of but little s- rv.ee to the people of Middle, West ern, South-western and Lower Georgia, who are so deeply interested in its extension. How different is it with “ Old W’ith'acoochee” 1 He soys, RLQI IRK that t he road should be extended to the ‘ limit originally contemplated by the Legislature ” KF* “ That in the prosecution of the work a just re- 1 gnrd ought of course to be had to the financial condi- j tion of the State**—and RT* “ Thai I y prudent management it can he accom- ■ plished without turthening our citizens with extraor- ‘ dmartj ta ration ” What better, wiser, more statesmanlike response could have been given ? Gen. Clinch will have no in [ crcasr oj taxation. He is pledged against that , even i if a majority of the Legislature should urge it. Un- - like Col. Towns he is willing to shoulder the respoiisibil itieaof the station, and to throw himself between the peo- | pie and any increase of public burthens. Helms seen j ami felt their sufferings under past Democratic admin- . istrations—he sympathises with them, and is resolved* to stand by the masses, as well as to regard the great 1 inteieste of the State. He is emphatically the tnan for j the people, and nobly, gloriously will the people sustain < him. Is He Kelialiie. Nothing is more apparent than that Col. Towns i” not sufficiently firm and reliable to !** entrusted with the n management and control of the affairs of State. In-! numerable instances of his vasciliation have been oi- ted, not only from his Congressional career, but also. | from his ordinary, every day deportment towards his I fellow men. Nothing however, has transpired which I so clearly illustrates the fact, that he is “all things to all men,” as the recent development at Ell ijny, by j Messrs Bates and Chastain, and related by our cor respondent Jr sirs. It is not only foiwarded tonshyn highly respectable gentleman now in Cherokee, out it is accompanied with assurances of its entire corner mess in substance. Is it not apparent that if Col. Towns can be guilty of such duplicity in private matters, be must be a very unsafe Executive—n mo*t unreliable pol itician*? If he is reckless and unscrupulous enough- to deceive hisown friends, where must the |eople ex pect to find him 1 If be is bold enough to w rite <>ne letter to Bates and another to Chastain, proli fs ng to be the friend of each, w hat assurance have we that he has no! been playing the same game in reg ml to the State Road? May tic t Cel. Towns have dej ro uted two letters in the breeches pocket of his friend Col. Hoopi r ; the one for the Middle counties, the nth °r for the opponents of the State Bond 1 It is n singula fact that none of the Democratic papers in Cheroke* hnvr thuH far published a single word to show that the { Colonel is in favor of carrying the road to the Ten nesaee River They any not n word, so far r.s we have seen, in regard to Ins letter, while it is well known that some of the moat ictive opponentsof extension me pres •*ing the claims of Col. Town* upon that very ground These facts are of themselves calculated to ex ! cite suspicion and especially so, when considered in connection with the character of Col.

Do the people of Georgia wish to jdaee nt the helm of State, a man in regard to whom* frankness and rdu b ; !ity they have even a shadow of | suspicion—much less one whose whole public liie and character ar * so clearly illustrated by tire single inci dent given by our c.trr* *|M>ndent Junius?

That the correctness <>j tli. iiceount hy inferrenee, was acknowledged, by the agreement of one of the firm to settle il at a given time. 4. That said agreement was made in order to pre vent tin* Director ot the Bank from cntbiehig the strin gent requiiemenls ol • iie last legislature. These are the allegations and the only allegations, of our correspondent. He expressly absolves Mr. Towns from af ."moral turpitude’ in regard to the original transaction, h'ttar: that he was Loth mor ally nnd teguoly bouiu to ee that the money was paid. Between our correspondent and the* Direct i , there is a difference only np n a single point, and mat is the distinction drawn by that ollic r, that “ Col. Towns is legally, ('bough not m ruliy) bound lor the mo ey.” Our own impression has be?n t.iat the moral obliga tion follows the legu 1 n- 1 that in a case ol this kind it is higher and more L mg, from the very met that all agree mat no personal dishonor at laches to Col. Towns because of the orig na! transaction. He, us the senior pat titer, was morally r.*spoitoible lor the faithfulness of his mm, and is therefore morally bound io respond to the bank, even if there Lad been no legal obligation re cognized. Tins letter, from the Director, ot its self proves noth ing but what iius b n before stated. It is, however, accompanied by the following statement from the Edi tor ol tht Union, viz : “ That in an nmtvifw upon the subject with Col. Thomas, the Diueior, he vciy courteously shewed us (the Editor) the correspondence that hud taken place between th*- Bn: k and the parties, exjiressed his regret that Col. Towns should be arraigned bejore the pub- ! l c for an offence with which the Tank had never j charged him, and that in ustice should be done him in 1 a transaction for which the ll.i nk never held him mor- j ally responsible.” Wc have net the slightest hesirnt on in declaring our ! belief, that the portion of the above statement in italics, is absolutely untrue; and that it is so, will appear i from the letter of Coi.

To the Editors of the Journal s>* Messenger: Gentlemen —On my return here from Talbot Superi or Court, this morning, a fi.**itd kindly handed me the ’ Federal Union ot last week. 1 can hardly exprissto you my astonishment and surprise at seeing an editori ; nl of Col. Campbell, in relation to the default of Messrs Towns, Sturgis and Benning, as attorneys to the Cen j trnl Bank. The day before 1 left home for Talbot, Col. Campbell I called ot the Bank, as he stated to me, to enquire into the facts in relation to certain charges made in the news papers against Col. Towns. I replied, that I was glad to see him, os the Cashier, Mr. Kiabct. w as then making out the account for me to carry to Talbot Court, and ! that he could see and examine it for himself—which 1 i desired him to do. 1 also told him that I would show i him the correspondence of* the last ten years in relation to it. I then opened the Letter Book and showed him, ; among others, the following letter: Central Bank of Georgia, ) Mthedgeville, Aug. Ist, 1837 j Sir: —The firm of Towns, Sturgis &, Be nning, by 1 their teceipt, dated Ta.bottom 31st August, 1835, is ! charged on the Books of this Bank with the sum o* $3,533, for sundry notes to that amount delivered them for collection. On your receipt not a dollar has been paid to the Bank, though we are assured by some of the debtors,; that payments have been made, long since, to the attor-! neys. Letters have been addressed to the firm, but witlmut any reply. Will you dome the favor to enquire into the causes of this unnecessary delay, and give me information ? If the papers have proved insolvent, please make re port of th*m as such. If collections have been made, the Bunk will risk the remittance by mail.

Which the Cashier wiil advise us of-—directed to Columbus, Geo. Very Respectfully, TOWNS, STURGIS & BENING. To Rhodom A Gri en, Esq , i Cashier Central Dank oj Geo. S I nex* showed Col. Campbell the report of Messrs. Janies Hunter,of Savannah, Jeremiah Beall, of Mil ledgeville, and the late John F. Lloyd of Floyd county, made as a .Board of Commissioners, acting under the authority of the Legislature, and submitted to that body at the session of 1845, in which, they report still in the hands of Messrs. Towns, Sturgis & Bening,* balance o! $458,80, on notes included in their original icctiyt, unaccounted for. This sum, ami the interest on the money collected and until it was paid into Bank by an Attorney employed, tor that purpose, to collect it, is all that the Bank now claims to be due. I ’hen called Col Campbell's attention to another letter from the Bank, ordering the aliove money collect ed out of the parties by rule, and to show a continued effort on the part of the Bank to collect, from that time, to the present, which 1 think, lie dec fined looking at. Now, after giving him oil the information upon this subject, is liter*- a man upon the earth, that could have believed Col Campbell capable of uttering the follow- mg Uuigiuigf*: “ Col. Towns and the Central Hank “ “THE SLANDER NAILED TO THE COUNTER.” “ Neeer mas a more base or malignant slnrd-r ut tered ur promo gated by u tire iitious pleas'—mean ing thereby that the charge against them as deiaulting attomiea was talse. Could it he believe I that Col.

I am the more astonished at this, because 1 explained this limiter to Col. Campbell. I I landed my own note to Col. Campbell. After he read it, he appeared dissatisfied, but finally said he would publish it without comment. I then raid to him, thutl regretted that it should become necemry to re sult to an investigation of this kind, on the eve of an important election , meaning to be understood that the said necessity had been created by the course pursued by tin- Federal Union and other Democratic pap. ™ to wards (b it.

CORK ESIN.MI LNCE OF THE JOURNAL AND MESSENGER. TALBOTTON, SEPT. 21, 1847. Gentlemen —The celebrated case ol the Central Bank, against the firm ol Towns, Sting sand Denning, for monies collected by them as attorneys, came up this morning, before Judge Alexander. The Attorneys for the Dank moved a rule against the members oft lie firm to shew cause why certain monies collected by them, as long ago as the yeats 1835, ’36 ami ‘37,should not lie paid over. Although the tub- was in the hands ol the delendants lor several days, it doesnot appear that all, or any of'bent acknowledged service upon n. but the answer was filed by Sturgis alotn —the other mem bers ol tiie firm lailtng to answer upon oath, as required by law and the terms of the rule. The answer was en t.iely evasive, and the Attorneys lor the Batik excepted, and propounded seven dtfii rent questions, lor the pur pose of eliciting the whole laets cl the caw. The reply to these questions was even more evasive than to the bile itself. It was long, filled with special pleading, and unsatisfactory It wasoi course traversed—its truth directly called in question, and a Jury demanded (o try the issue. The only question pending between the Dank and the defendants, is that it* regard to interest the Hank insisting that the Attorneys (having held the money tor an average period of 18 months, before giv ing notice ol its coil,etion, although frequently written to by th -pn per officer, ami mstinoted to foiwnrd by mail Lily prruls in their hands,) were bound fir tin m lerist. Col. Towns, although professing a great wil lingness to settle the claim, and lieing apprised that the disc would come tip to-day, when called at the Court Hous.- liy th ■Sh ntf. filled to nnswe dodging, I pre sume, uu usual—and did not ngsin sp|K*ar dining the day. It was tepoiled that he hud gone to M. rnw ther county, to make a stump speech, and beg the people Jor their rotea! acting upon tin presumption (us I guess.) that the Deitiociscy will not believe in any of the Whig lies m regard to his moral and legal liability, bo long as he is able to make a good xpeer/i ! The fust object of this absence was doubtless tolorce the Bank into a continuance of the case—at least tins was the result The secondary object was, probably, a concealment of the teal tacts until alter tin- npproaclung election. Fortunately, however, 1 have iieen enabled to obtain the following statement of the account. The items of principal are from the answer of Mr Sturgis, while the legal interest is added, upon the conviction that I entertain, that men who luive the use ol the peo ple's money ought nt least tu pay lor it.
